and he just successfully landed the 4loop twice in competition now. Complete 4-rotation arsenal now.

No, When these athletes reaches 20, their body is dead.

KiIlerman here a poem to you Roses are red violets are blue There will always be Another Asian out there Who is younger and Better than you .

Nina Zheng accurate

NNT Flow how why?

I think about that all the time lol, like If I could travel back in time and be like EYYY SCOTT HAMILTON CHECK THIS OUT

omg I think about that all the time too!!!!! Like take any guy from top 15 today and they would beat all the legends from 20 years ago! And today we don't even know some of their names... that Is crazy! I'm really interested in how this sport will develop in another 20 years. just HOW FAR will it go?...

rei 君 someone needs to make a fanfic about that. I'll read it right away!!

rei 君 like if salchow saw a quadruple salchow. i doubt he couldve even imagined a triple

Who knows if these athletes came from future,and have these skills which is common in future but not now. just opposite of what you think

I'm 17 and I'm here complaining about everything as I eat potato chips on my bed.

He's 18 now, he's now a 2 time national champion and grand prix final champion. He has won gold at every single competition he's been to this season but he might not win gold at the olympics as his most major competitors (Shoma Uno, Yuzuru Hanyu and Boyang Jin for the most part) have been injured, withdrawn or inconsistent at all the competitions he's faced them at this season, all of those competitors have similar technical content with better presentation skills (eons better in the cases of Yuzuru and Shoma, just a smidge better in Boyang's case) which do make up approximately half the total score in skating. Shoma and Boyang are on a perfect path to peak at the olys now and Yuzuru Hanyu, though seriously injured, has pulled world records out of nowhere before, in fact, Yuzuru is determined to land a quad axel before his career is over. We are currently witnessing a renaissance of quads in mens skating and even 13 year old girls are starting to attempt quad salchows and toeloops. It's a great time to become a skate fan!!

Im 21 and I am currently procrastinating by watching this video when I have an exam tomorrow.....

Most figure skaters are young

The olympics sure do make you question yourself hahaha

Magnus How do you know this?

i have trouble walking.

Magnus lol

I have trouble finding the ice ring

He's 17

he's asian lmao he can do anything, must have crazy ambition im on the couch eating chips atm how sad ....

yes, you dont even have to do quads for you feet to want to die, doing doubles makes mine commit suicide

What happens? Does it hurt?

On the long run we all probably need hip replacements by 30 But it does take a toll. The impact is quite harsh, remember we land on outside or inside edge meaning we are leaning just a bit to our left or right without actually falling. And also, most jumps are made in the first half of a program? Which leaves the second half and you are feeling out of breath and ready to drop dead. Some skaters will do the jumps on the second half and get even more points. I only attempted that once at a competition and sure I got more marks but oh boy did my lungs feel tight. And let’s take into account that our skates arE SUPER important. Look at Chen’s blades even, they are different from the more traditional ones. And they are built with that support to aid his jumps. Sometimes if the skate is poorly fitted, the blood circulation gets funky and you get that feeling of needles pricking your skin. If you are bad with the cold and how wet the skates might get that also makes for it to be uncomfortable

Lol maybe it is too long of an answer but yes Our feet suffer, stink, want to get off our bodies and skate the hell away.

Pony BOM damn!! That sounds rough😥. They make it seam so easy and effortless. Hats-off to you guys

sounds to me like basketball jargon mate :)

everestfalls ...in truth you are correct along with heel & hip joint issues

Mo Choudhury ....let it rip

Jk

Can you feel *my heart beeaaat*

V Llly I've been waiting for someone to say this❤

V Llly ;)

Ayyyyy I see what you did there :D

V Llly yaas😂😂✌️

RaymondHng why i can't do loop but i can do axel?! I'm stressed about it

Salchow should be before toe loop

Per ISU Communication #2089, a triple toe loop jump base value is 4.3. A triple salchow is 4.4. A quad toe loop is 10.3. A quad salchow is 10.5.

RaymondHng if you skate you're taught how to do salchows before you learn toe loop, the technique for a toe loop is harder than a salchow, but I'm surprised as to why a triple salchow has a higher base value than a triple toe loop🤔

I can do a salchow and tie loop

I've been watch a bunch of Bonaly videos this week, she is amazing! The 94 Olympic exhibition show is worth looking up. She does 2 flips

Darlene I mean, many ice skaters start ice skating around five or three years old so I’m sure he’s had lots of practice 🤔😰

Ice skaters peak early

Well wether a skater experience pain more or not rly depends on their technique. And I can say with certainty that nathan's technique is flawed, so yea

Now he can.

Nanas Man Too much

*too many

xTɦաaʀtɛɖ too many

Yeah..they’re annoying

Yep

cream yeah, that’s a guaranteed future of multiple orthopedic surgeries

No_Quads_ And_Axels Look how the figure skater takes off. If the skater does a 360° turn before taking off with the edges of the blades, then it's a salchow jump. If the skater bends their legs before taking off with the edges of their blades, then it's a loop jump. There is the toe jump, which takes off at the toe pick. As for the flip jump and Lutz jump, look at the edge of the blade. If the skater takes off from a slight inside esge, then it's a flip jump. If the skater takes off from an outside edge, then it's a Lutz jump. The figure skater goes backwards into the air and lands on the other side with these sides. However, the axel jump takes off forward with one foot and rotate an extra 1/2 revolutions and lands on the other foot.

The only tell for the lutz is the slight lean and reversed direction just before takeoff so I find it quite hard to differentiate from a flip. Especially for skaters who don't do a clear lutz so it ends up looking like a flip, hence the term "flutz"-ing.

SweetMillefeuille actually, since the flip uses the inside edge they generally do a three-turn before jumping. For the lutz they always move backwards and jump.

These are the six jumps in order of difficulty for a skater who spins counter clockwise and lands on their right foot. The difference is which edge and direction they are taking off when jumping. 1. Toe loop-Right Back Outside edge, Left toe pick-assisted 2. Salchow-Left Back Inside edge 3. Loop-Right Back Outside edge 4. Flip-Left Back Inside edge, Right toe pick-assisted 5. Lutz-Left Back Outside edge, Right toe pick-assisted 6. Axel-Left Forward Outside edge

i feel like people forget that not every skater jump and spin the same way

he did

"I wonder how close to the absolute most a skater can do" current yuzu does this *just saying* and i respect nathan

When you are five years older and you still haven't accomplished jack shit. Only started skating eight months ago, quads seem like an impossible dream for starting so late.

Oh shit. Now that i realized, i am turning 17 this year fml

When you're a gen x-er and still haven't achieved jack shit... now that is fucking depressing

it's ok...there's ppl old and dead and still didn't accomplish jackshit...

What jump are you on?

eurocamp 25 AGREED

yuri on ice just introduced and drew many people into this sport form and now more people can appreciate it for what it is, for example of course i knew what ice skating is but that anime showed me the beauty of figure skating. btw there are some figure skaters who liked yuri on ice as well

because yuri on ice is based off figure skating.

a lot of new figure skating fans were introduced to figure skating through yuri on ice.

eurocamp 25 anime*

Yuzuru Hanyu's still my fav

You should really clarify that he was the first to land a specific quad jump (a loop) in competition, because the first person to land a ratified quad jump in general was Kurt Browning back in '88. Sorry, nitpicky, I know.

Kurt browning was the very first to land a quad and because of this more quads are born.

at least Yuzuru Hanyu made history a couple times now... Just saying~

People have been landing quads since the late 80s....

I upvote this comment.Even mooma.sh can't find it !!

We fucking need it !!

Kuangheng Hwang fuck same

Daphne R what’s op?

Stiles Kuchiki actually, your comment made me think...that's actually pretty interesting^^ I now wanna know why humans have talents...why did nature give these to them? 😞

lmaoo
